Im considering an i5 6500 for gaming and i wont oc anything... will the stock be sufficient for some heavy graphic gaming or will it give me some annoyance..?
Ive read before about it but what made me revise myself is that my boy had an i7 4790 non oced and the stock gave him about +70 cels. In his usage including games and rendering and when he bought the evo 212 all dropped to 40.... so will it be good if i add the extra dollars or i shouldn't bat an eye? Keep in mind that i do feel every dollar that i add to its price....
Also im considering cryorig h7 because it is shorter and said to be better and their prices are the same in here.... also something light for the thin 6th gen cpus to avoid bedings.


And when you answer this a side question is the i5 6500 good with a high end singular gpu aka current ones like 970 and 980 but next gen or should i get the i5 6600? Im no oc-er whatsoever...

Yes, the stock cooler is fine (for anything) as long as you're not overclocking. The temperatures will be higher, but safe and it might be a bit loud. It's not in any way dangerous.

The Cryorig H7 is a great cooler for the price and will run cooler and quieter, it's up to you if you think that's worth the additional cost. And there is almost no difference between the i5 6500 and i5 6600 either is roughly equivalent for gaming.
